A Tremont Street electric car near Windsor Street in Cambridge was nearly derailed when an eight year old girl darted toward the tracks.

The rescuer then returned to his seat, calm under pressure, while the motorman and passengers expressed relief. The student, living on Sacramento Street, Cambridge, declined attention and remarked to the motorman, God! Why don’t you get out of this?
